[HOWTO]Setting up oCam - Record - General tab

Click Tools-Options in the oCam menu to display the following settings window. Learn about the Recording-General tab.

 
Include the cursor

- It is checked by default. If checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is included. If not checked, the mouse cursor of recorded video is not included.

 

 


Hide drag cursor in recording area

-By default, the check is cleared. If checked, the drag cursor in the middle of the recording area disappears.


Frames Per Second (FPS)
- It is set to 30 by default and can be up to 120 FPS. 30 FPS is suitable for recording general screens. It is recommended to record 60 FPS or more for racing games or games that change screens rapidly during game recording.


Among the built-in codecs, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 codecs are fixed at 30 FPS without being affected by the codec setting.

Keyframe interval
- By default, it is set to 5. If the keyframe interval is 5, keyframes are generated every 5 seconds, if 1, every 1 second, if 2, every 2 seconds, if n, then every second.

Decoder Resolution Compatibility
- Some video players have a problem with blurry playback of video files that are not set to a specific resolution size. (For example, bear player)

By default, the width is set to a multiple of 8, and the vertical is set to a multiple of 4. If the horizontal size of the recording area specified by the user does not fit to the multiple of 8, it is forced to a multiple of 8. The vertical size of the recording area does not fit to the multiple of 4. If not, the vertical size is applied in multiples of four.

For example, if the decoder resolution is set to "multiple of 8 and vertical of 4" and the recording area is 427x241, the horizontal size is 427, but since it is not divided by 8, the horizontal resolution is corrected to divide by 8 Is 424, and the vertical size is not divided by 4, so it is applied to 240 so that the recording area is finally set to 424x240.

[Tips]How to record the microphone and computer sound together during recording (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10)

Click the Sound button in the Ocam main window.
 


The following menu pops up and it is checked by default that no microphone is recorded.

 

 


Select the microphone you want to record. (If the microphone does not appear in the list, see below.)
 


If checked, the settings are applied as follows and the microphone is recorded together.


If the microphone device is not listed above even though the microphone is connected, proceed as follows.

(If the menu related to the microphone does not appear at all and the system sound recording menu only appears, or the microphone item appears but all microphone devices are not displayed, the audio is not the default microphone device. The interface unit should be listed and follow this procedure if it does not.)

 
 
Go to Start Menu-Control Panel.
Find and click the Sounds item in Control Panel.
 

 
 
The following window will appear. Click the Recording tab.
 

 
 
If you go to the Recording tab, no audio device is set. Click the right button on the white background to open the popup menu. (Or the recording device appears in the list but the desired device does not appear)
 

 
 
Click Show Unavailable Devices.
 

 
 
 
Select the microphone device you want to use and press the right button to click Enable.
(If you are using an audio interface, you may have a separate recording device called a line input in addition to the microphone, and you must record with that device.)
 

 
 
 

 
 
Click the Sound button on the OHCAM to check if the microphone unit is working properly.
